A Fourth of July parade is the subject of this glass negative, though the record leaves its date blank, so the specific procession and year remain unconfirmed. The title comes from information supplied by the Bain News Service, the New York photo agency George Grantham Bain founded around 1899 to supply news pictures to newspapers. Its glass negatives, many made in the first decades of the twentieth century, record street life, public ceremonies and everyday events, which places this parade within a wider picture of civic celebration in that period. Independence Day parades of the era typically drew marching bands, floats and large crowds along city streets.
